Bug Description

Binary package hint: light-themes

Hi,

as the title says, scrollbars in the ambiance/radiance themes are really really hard to see, and I can see no reason for this. Making them invisible is not a way to make them look better. The new themes are great but this is a major usability issue.

It isn't clear to me why having the same trough shading for progress bars and scroll bars is a good idea: the progress bar is rendered in a high contrast orange, while the scroll bar thumb is almost the same shade of grey as the trough, and the outline around the thumb is also quite low contrast.

Surely this is a valid usability/accessibility bug rather than a case of someone wanting a change for aesthetic reasons?

Still can't make out the contrast, this is a very serious visual problem with the default theme.

In the old days when cleanlooks and ubuntu human were popular, this wasn't a problem. Cleanlooks had a bright blue slider, and ubuntu human, orange. The new unity scroll bars are okay for those apps that use them: they have a thin sliver of orange, and a giant popup handle when u get near.
